East Coast could be impacted by a tropical wind and rainstorm later this week

From AccuWeather Public Relations Gusty winds, downpours and beach erosion are expected to impact coastal areas from the Southeast to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast starting later this week > Tropical Storm Jerry has formed in the central Atlantic. It is forecast to track west-northwest toward the Lesser Antilles before curving to the north and moving out to sea AccuWeather® Global Weather Center – Oct. 7, 2025 – As Tropical Storm Jerry develops in the central Atlantic, AccuWeather® hurricane experts say people and businesses along the East Coast should prepare for wind, rain and beach erosion from a tropical wind and rainstorm that is expected to develop later this week off the Southeast coast. AccuWeather uses the term “tropical rainstorm” to describe certain tropical systems that may bring significant impacts from rain or wind before they are officially classified as a tropical depression or storm in order to raise public awareness of their disruptive, damaging and dangerous potential.   “A tropical wind and rainstorm could soak parts of the East Coast later this week and into the weekend. Some coastal areas could see several inches of rain, gusty winds, beach erosion, and prolonged coastal flooding, regardless of tropical development,” AccuWeather® Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva explained. “A very stormy weekend could be on tap for parts of the Southeast, mid-Atlantic and Northeast if this storm hugs the coast or stalls. There will be a window of opportunity where it could strengthen into a named tropical storm.” AccuWeather® hurricane experts say rough surf, dangerous rip currents, prolonged coastal flooding, and beach erosion could impact beaches along the East Coast starting Friday. “The Outer Banks and coastal Carolinas have faced several rounds of rough surf and beach erosion this year from storms off the coast. Tropical Storm Chantal also made landfall in South Carolina in July, causing beach erosion and flooding issues across the Carolinas,” DaSilva said. “This storm will likely bring more rough surf and beach erosion to areas that have already been hit hard this year. We could see more vulnerable beach homes collapse into the ocean.” AccuWeather® was the first known source to issue a forecast track for Tropical Storm Jerry early Tuesday morning. “Tropical Storm Jerry is expected to strengthen into the fifth hurricane of the season in the Atlantic,” DaSilva said. “AccuWeather forecasts this storm to pass north of the Leeward Islands, bringing some wind and rain to the Lesser Antilles starting late Thursday. At this time, a dip in the jet stream and steering winds are expected to help guide this storm to the north and curve it out to sea.” AccuWeather® hurricane experts say there is a low risk of tropical development potential in the Bay of Campeche this week. People in eastern Mexico should monitor this area closely. The next names on the list of Atlantic storms are Karen and Lorenzo. Last month, AccuWeather® hurricane experts lowered the maximum number of named storms and hurricanes forecast to develop this year due to the unusual midseason lull. The AccuWeather® 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast predicts 13-16 named storms and six to nine hurricanes. It is important to note that the forecast for three to six direct impacts on the U.S. has not changed, despite a slight lowering of the total number of storms and hurricanes.
